According to him, Ombudsman's representatives are in touch with the
doctors who examine him. Tatoyan also informed that on August 31 and
September 1 the doctors of the penitentiary examined him, after which
a doctor invited by his request also examined Ghukasyan. "The results
of the analysis are normal as of August 29, but a person in hunger
strike should be under permanent control of doctors", he stressed.

To recall, Andrias Ghukasyan was detained on July 29 during the
antigovernment demonstrations when Sasna Tsrer armed group seized the
police station. He is charged with Article 225.1 (organization of
mass unrest) of the Criminal Code of Armenia. Andrias Ghukasyan
started his hunger strike on August 1. "I am a political prisoner and
I demand the people to establish constitutional order in Armenia and
restore justice with all possible methods," Ghukasyan posted on
Facebook. On August 24 the Court of Appeal in Yerevan did not satisfy
motion on changing measure of restraint for Andrias Ghukasyan and set
him free on bail.
